USING MAIN STREET AS A SPEEDWAY It seems to be the ambition of a good many automobile drivers to es­ tablish a speed record on Main street. They drive down this thoroughfare of our town at a clip that would make Barney Oldfield and the speed demonH of our race tracks today feel envious and jealous. We do not know the record that has been set and which the others are trying to lower. Evidently i is a good ono but the contestants who are trying to grab the laurels are reckless and brave, and no doubt will accomplish their design even if If they have to kill some one. The city hag put up signs to ap-1 prise the public of the speed limit w ithin Its borders. If they have any | effect it is not noticeable. The law prohibiting speeding on | Main street should be enforced. THE "OLEO” REFERENDUM Competition Said to Bo Driving Vosocla Into Coast Trade. 111 Washington, D. C.—The competition of the open seaa has driven so many privately owned American ships Into the coastal trade that the shipping board's bureau of research character­ ized the increased coastal movement of cargoes as "the most marked de­ velopment in the employment of ahipa inder the United States flag during he past year.” "The vessels under private owner­ ship," said a report, “have practically abandoned the hopeless task of com­ peting with the more cheaply operated foreign fleets, and have turned to the protected traffic of our coastal waters, where the basis of operation coat is equal."

Washington, D. C. — The American debt funding commission has negotia­ ted a tentative programme for refund­ ing the debt of Finland to the United States and put the recently negotiated igreeinent with Oreat Britain in the final stage preparatory to going into operation.

SFECIA LIST Coming to an d , ! | I DnJMellenthin It has beta p nted out in some scientific quarters hat the now known facts seem l > ren tiro a modification of the statement ound In some text books that ‘ it is impossible to say whether a flash of lightning moves from a cloud to the earth or in the opposite direction.” Many observa­ tions of llghlning made In South Af­ rica show that In all cases the dis- _ charges were from cloud to cloud or g from the clouds to the earth. Quite ■ frequently, it is said, the South Afri­ cans have observed lightning flashes leaving a cloud for the earth, but fad­ ing away before reaching it. The op­ posite phenomenon lias not been ob­ served.
